It is a gas.
Argon is an inert gas. At the high temperatures which are reached during welding the metals involved can get highly reactive. An inert environment prevents chemical reactions.

A.K.A. Gas Metal Arc Welding -- Semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process in which a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun.
As an inert gas, it shields the weld from oxygen and corrosion during the melting process. Tig welding means "through inert gas".
It is a gas.
Oxygen and acetylene for flame welding. Argon for Tig welding CO2 for MIG welding steels Argon for MIG welding aluminum TRI-mix for robotic mig of steels. And helium is added for some overhead welding.
argon gas
Argon is an inert gas. this is not the correct answer Nor was it complete. Argon is used in welding to shield the heated metal from oxidation. This is called TIG welding, which stands for Through Inert Gas. Argon does not react directly with the metal.
TIG welding uses Argon.

Because argon is an inert gas, don't react with metals.
helium and argon
Depends on what you think of as normal welding. Gas welding use oxygen-acetylene. MIG/TIG use Argon. MAG, use an argon-something mix. Depending on what materials you are welding, there are some more options tha might be used.
